Sure, or that people generally adapt rapidly to environmental collapse(you can look at Egypt or Iraq for good examples), or that we have no idea if the manmade extinction event will be short-term or long-term, or that we can't know what technological innovations will come in the future which might alleviate the problems.

Basically, you make a lot of assumptions about the world that aren't necessarily true, and are only confirmed by your negative view of the present.

Oh, and about "the apocalypse": People have been waiting for the end of the world for as long as people have existed. Sometimes they've even pronounced the end times, often because their particular civilization was falling apart. So far they have all been wrong.
